Increase uptime

High uptime is a key factor in operating any type of processing plant. Costs for planned and unplanned maintenance shutdowns are high. Alfa Laval compact heat exchangers are built for high reliability and minimum maintenance, ensuring secure operation, low maintenance costs and maximum uptime.

Less and faster cleaning

The highly turbulent flow makes our compact heat exchangers much less prone to fouling than shell-and-tubes. This leads to longer service intervals and fewer production stops.

When our heat exchangers need cleaning, they offer easy access and fast cleaning. Using our cleaning-in-place equipment means you can clean the unit without opening it. Many models can be opened and mechanically cleaned. Service personnel have full access to all the channels and can easily clean them with a high-pressure water jet.
